95 Camry Brake Fluid Problem

I have a 95 Camry, V6, LE, with ABS. The ABS annunciator has been illuminated for the past 2 years, I just ignore it. But, in the past year, I have had the left front caliper hang up. So, I replaced both front calipers along with the rotors. On this last change, I replaced the LF brake hose. Then proceeded to bleed the lines. The RF came up quickly, within a couple presses of the brake pedal. The LF took much longer and was not normal. I can get the brake to come up, but there is not a normal flow of brake fluid. If I continue to bleed the LF the flow of fluid decreases. I do have brakes but am still concerned about the fluid flow in the LF. Any ideas. Thanks

If you still have the old LF brake line you might consider reinstalling it and seeing if the behavoir reverts back to normal. Why did you replace it to begin with? Could there have been any chunks that got blown down line and are now restricting the fluid flow in front of the bleeder valve?

^+1.

I have to agree with Kep. You could have something blocking that bleeder screw. Remove the bleeder screw and blow it out with some compressed air. Then reinstall it and see if the flow has now increased.

So I replaced the RF brake hose just because I had it and it would have cost more to take it back, and the proceeded to bleed all 4 brakes. I now have "normal" flow to all brakes.

Go figure???????????

Thanks.
